Chapter 44: The Beginning of the Story

"Hey, have you heard? The 'Making Big Money' company is going to develop a branch in our Yangen city!"

"Really! Then this is really happy news. My God, maybe I can see the end of that novel before the end of this year!"

The streets of Yangen City in the early morning are not like Backlund. There are busy people running around. They all seem to be very leisurely. After buying bread at the breakfast stall, they even have time to buy a copy of today's magazine or newspaper.

newspaper.

Well... Anthony is one of them.

"The news spread really fast."

Sitting at the breakfast stall and munching on a long loaf of bread, Anthony flipped through today's "Yengen City Honest Daily" and couldn't help but smile when he saw the news published on it.

This is naturally his handiwork.

Since he is acting, he has to perform a complete set, not to mention that Anthony originally had the intention to develop his own company in Yangen City. This kind of thing is not troublesome and can bring him good profits. Only a fool would not do it.

Not going to do it.

Of course, one of the main reasons that is indispensable is...

He is just too idle.

It has been a few days since he arrived in Yangen City. During these nearly a week, Anthony deeply experienced the pleasure of fishing.

With the salary of a night watcher, there are not many tasks that can be done all day long.

If this kind of job were placed on the earth in the previous life, I am afraid that it would be snatched up by various migrant workers.

Of course, it is not known whether he will be captured and sent to northern Myanmar afterwards.

"Phew, it's another beautiful day, I finally have something to do today!"

Putting the last piece of bread into his mouth, Anthony stood up and took a deep breath. After a moment, he opened his eyes and smiled, expressing his approval for the air quality in Yangen City.

The air here is indeed much better than that in Backlund.

Putting on his top hat, Anthony clutched his cane and turned away from the breakfast stall, leaving only the newspaper he had just read being turned over by the breeze, revealing today's news section.

The date above is exactly June 28, 1349!

——

"Good morning, Mr. Hurst, you seem to be in a good mood today."

Arriving at the Blackthorn Security Company, Roshan was eating breakfast. After seeing Anthony come in, she quickly put down the newspaper in her other hand and stood up to say hello.

"Good morning, Miss Rosanne, I think maybe it's because I had a good dream."

Anthony smiled, said hello to Roxanne, and then walked straight to an iron door on the right.

That's the place where Neil, the logistics guy, likes to stay.

"Good morning, Mr. Hurst."

"Well, good morning, Mr. Neil, you are drinking coffee again."

"Hand-ground coffee always allows me to subconsciously ignore some whispers and keeps me happy throughout the day. You know, this is also the characteristic of the 'Peeper'."

Old Neil greeted Anthony and said with a smile.

After a few days of getting along, he and this extraordinary person who was transferred from Backlund had quite a conversation.

The latter would always come to sit with him for a day in his spare time, drink several pots of hand-ground coffee with him, and consume the whole day with occult books.

Of course, the main reason is that nothing happened in Yangen City these days, so the Nighthawks have no use at all.

Hmm... maybe he shouldn't have such thoughts?

"Mr. Hurst, the captain is waiting for us to gather in the conference room. We have a mission!"

Suddenly, Sika pushed open the iron door of the logistics room and said to Anthony, who was about to take a seat, and then hurried out again, causing the two people in the room to look at each other and reveal a wry smile.

"I'm sorry Mr. Neil, it seems you have to enjoy hand-ground coffee alone today, I'm leaving first."

"Well, don't delay the mission."

Old Neil felt a little guilty for what he had just thought, and immediately watched Anthony disappear out the door, and then started brewing his own hand-ground coffee.

As an elderly Beyonder, he is not suitable for outside missions.

After all, who would want to be a burden to an old man who has to gasp for breath to climb several stairs?

"Mr. Leonard, it seems that your record in 'fighting evil' last night was not very good. Well... the note is on the right side of your chin."

On the way to the conference room, Anthony met Leonard Mitchell who happened to be rushing out of the entertainment room. He looked at the note still attached to his chin and couldn't help but laugh.

He has also played 'Battle of Evil' with several members of the Nighthawks. As a game spread on the earth, he is naturally very good at playing it. Except for "Corpse Collector" Frye, who is more lucky, he has almost no

Defeat.

Of course, this also led to the fact that the Nighthawks, who had no experience fighting "evil" with him, resolutely refused to join him.

Well...this is why Anthony has been staying in the back room reading occult books these days.

"Thank you Mr. Hester, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have discovered it."

Leonard was stunned for a moment, then quickly pulled the note off his chin and smiled coquettishly at Anthony.

"Mr. Hester, let's go to the conference room first. I heard that this mission is not easy."

With that said, Leonard trotted towards the conference room again. Anthony also shrugged and followed closely behind him.

Although the case has not yet been touched upon, how could he, who came here just for this reason, not know what kind of strange case would happen today.

When he arrived at the conference room, Anthony found a chair and sat down. Dunn Smith, who saw all the official members of the Nighthawks gathered, started the official topic of today's meeting after a week of scanning.

He first introduced the details of the mission, which also included the two victims of the mission - Mr. Welch McGovern and Ms. Naya, and then accurately assigned tasks to each member of the Nighthawks.

Anthony's mission is to follow Dunn Smith to the place of death of the victim in the case to investigate.
